Risk Level: SAFE
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest large volumes of untrusted data from the web via search and fetch operations as described in Step 4 (Breadth pass) and Step 5 (Depth and verification pass).
- Ingestion points: External web content, official documents, and academic papers fetched via search tools and live API/browser inspection.
- Boundary markers: The skill lacks explicit instructions for using delimiters or boundary markers to isolate untrusted external content from the agent's internal reasoning.
- Capability inventory: The agent has the capability to write research artifacts to the local file system (under
.workbench/deep-research/) and perform network operations via web search/fetch tools. - Sanitization: There are no specific instructions for sanitizing or escaping external content before it is synthesized into research notes or artifacts.
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The workflow explicitly instructs the agent to inventory and read existing local files to determine what is already known before performing new searches.
- Evidence: Step 1 in
SKILL.mddirects the agent to inspect user-provided notes, spreadsheets, and existing folders such asresearch/,notes/,analysis/, anddocs/. - Context: This behavior is limited to project-related research folders and is a functional requirement for the 'inventory-first' methodology. No evidence of unauthorized access to sensitive system paths (e.g.,
.ssh,.aws) or automated external exfiltration was found.
